(Chemical Equation Presented) An account of the total synthesis of the tetracyclic alkaloid (-)-acutumine is presented. A first-generation approach to the spirocyclic subunit was unsuccessful as a result of incorrect regioselectivity in a radical cyclizat

A new radical-polar crossover reaction was developed that consists of intramolecular conjugate addition of an aryl radical followed by enolate formation and hydroxylation. A C-C bond, a C-O bond, and two congested stereocenters are created in the process.
